One cop parks in the County Line parking lot and another one is near where those guys sell raw hides on the side of the road near Jester. If it is noon or 5pm just drive the speed limit. Even 5 over, they are going to pull people over. There was a motorcycle fatality maybe 6 months ago near 2222 and Cat Mountain and they have been enforcing that area since then.

Boost Logic.

But honestly I would suggest going to Dave S. from DD Performance Research in Sealy, TX (near Houston) or Patrick L. PRT Tuning in DFW. They specialize in our platform and have 86s of their own.

If you have any more questions, feel free to join us on FB at Austin 86 Club. I don't log on here as often.

I was def not going slow but the cop was cool and only gave me 10 over. He also told me about the other cop down the way. Anyone know a good traffic lawyer to use in Austin?

Unless it's tuning or ecu stuff, find a car friend that knows their stuff and do it yourself. Much more informative and rewarding than paying someone.

Not sure what I'm doing. My Corolla is just so boring. Not sure how much longer I can take it. I've also been looking at the new Mustang GT Premiums as well.

That Edelbrock supercharger also has my attention.
